A draw is enough
“We take into account the state of form of the players. Above all, we think a little bit after the competition, not very far, but just the last 16 since we are qualified, “said the coach Sunday by announcing” some changes. ”
Although a draw is enough to finish first in group A, Les Bleues are aiming for victory to share a new moment of communion with the public, in a Roazhon Park that will be sold out, as were the Parc des Princes face South Korea (4-0) and Nice’s Allianz Riviera against Norway (2-1).
“This is the first time in our life that we have seen such an event. We did not expect such a craze. It’s great for us, it will change the women’s football, “enthused Captain Amandine Henry.

Disciplined
“Our discipline is evolving. We measure the chance we have. We still knew the beginnings of women’s football where we had to juggle between professional life or student life and sporting life, “added Deacon, herself former international and captain of the Blue before turning to the coaching profession.
If the atmosphere looks good at the stadium, it was not yet at the rendezvous in the early afternoon in the city center of Rennes, like a “Fifa fan experience” (a place dedicated to supporters) desert around 13:30. “It’s weekdays, the match starts late. I think that people will arrive around 17h or 18h, “said an official at AFP.
8-0 in April 2018
A priority of les Bleues, which seem far superior to Nigeria, 38th nation ranked Fifa they had beaten 8-0 in a friendly match at Le Mans in April 2018.
But Corinne Deacon assures, it will be a completely different match against a team athletic and much better prepared, carried by his attackers Desire Oparanozie, who plays in Guingamp and knows France well, or Asisat Oshoala (Barcelona).
Problems
“It was the first game in a year and a half, another situation. We were getting to know each other. I can promise you that we will fight a lot more and be better organized, “added Nigeria coach Thomas Dennerby of Sweden.
The Super Falcons will be even more motivated that they can still snatch their ticket to the round of 16, thanks to their success against South Korea 2-0.
And they had caused problems to the French in 2011 during the first game of the World Cup, won 1-0 by the Blue, in a team where already included Wendie Renard, Elise Bussaglia, Gaetane Thiney or Eugenie Le Sommer, entered the break.
